@ PhIlG: this is a catch-22 situation, and as you so rightly said:
...the Lucid image will not contain the updated drivers. This places users in
the position of needing to upgrade in order to have functioning wireless, but
being unable to upgrade because their wireless isn't functioning.
Fine

The rt2800sta module in the lucid kernel has failed to connect to my

I can tell you that we are aware of this issue, however, the kernel is

Imagine the bad publicity for linux if the next release comes out *without* the
